Wow, those ads on the linked to site brought back memories. I definitely remember them appearing in the local newspapers and TV Guide. Though until seeing them I'd completely forgotten that Channel 6 around here used to be located in New Bedford, MA and had the call letters WTEV. Back in the day that's the station on which I almost always watched DS, too...This is WTEV Channel 6, New Bedford/Providence. Stay tuned for news and weather with Truman Taylor.
The gum cards were cool, but my favorite piece of DS memorabilia is the Majestic 1795 Barnabas action figure. I'm not counting the actual DVDs of course. If you are only talking about stuff that came out while the show was still on, then the cards are probably my favorite, especially the green set.
As Michael commented, the marketing angle for DS was always sub-par, at least as far as I am concerned. The best products in terms of design and flair were the gum cards.
true...
I am pleased with a return to the full, 2+ day, hotel bound traditional fest. I'm not looking for "innovation" in terms of format. and as a non-driver schlepping all over the place isn't an option. a "contained" setup is much easier for me.
there's plenty to like. but in other ways it's a bit underwhelming.
We have the audio dramas, and I know the 50th anniversary edition is on the way, but I feel the audios have been on the downturn story-wise. The actors are great, but the writing and direction is off-base, in my opinion. I don't mean this to be disrespecful to anyone, but it's just my honest critique, so I hope nobody takes offense....I miss having hardcore fan creators like Darren Gross and Stephen Mark Rainey involved. Stuart Manning, I think, had a better grasp on the feel of DS than does Joseph Lidster.
But parts of the story and the editing drive me crazy. A certain Barnabas/Angelique scene is totally over the top and unnecessary.
